One thing for certain... my configuration of the rt28000usb will not run OTB without the addition of the Expermint-3 patch on either 5.2.55 or 5.2.58 and I don't see anywhere I have any 14e4 so why it works with and not without... way way beyond me peebee????

Am posting this from Precise 5.2.55 'LIVE SAVE TO CD Multiburn' and from WiFi with the expermint-3 patch which is working 'perfect.' Beyond me????

Might just add here that WiFi and eth0 work very nice for me in Slacko-5.3 and Exprimo-11 without issues.

I have the integrated RS880G graphics. With Precise B1 it is still nearly as broken as it was previously.

On first boot, dri and glx are disabled by xorg.conf, which is just as well because, with KMS enabled, Xorg has a fatal error and aborts without loading the keyboard.

On selecting Radeon in xorgwizard, xorg won't start because there are no driver modules for it to load, in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers. So it is necessary to copy them over from the driver backup folder.

With KMS disabled the Radeon R600 driver will load to the point where 2D acceleration is enabled, but AIGLX has various errors.

AIGLX falls back to using LLVM software rasteriser, which also has an error and falls back to using swrast.

Also there is no modesetting because KMS is disabled, and R600 does not support userspace modesetting.

So adding LLVM did allow the loading of xorg to complete, but nowhere near the right answer.

I'm not a linux expert but I have been investigating this by reference to Fatdog 600a2 where the Radeon R600 configures itself correctly on the same motherboard.

The fatal error with KMS enabled is:

Code:

[ 13.257] (EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIGetVersion failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] This chipset requires a kernel module version of 1.17.0,
[dri] but the kernel reports a version of 2.12.0.[dri] Make sure your module is loaded prior to starting X, and
[dri] that this driver was built with support for KMS.
[dri] Aborting.

I did find a bug report filed for Arch for this error, and the opinion was that it was related to the version of xf86-video-ati/radeon and they had fixed it by reverting to an earlier version. But I don't think it was conclusive.

Precise has 6.14.99 git 20111219
Fatdog has 6.14.4 which was released on 28th March 2012.

I can't find any sign of updates for Ubuntu, but there are from Debian. But they are compiled for xorg 1.12, so I couldn't try them.

The other difference that I noticed was the that output from

Code:

dmesg | grep drm

reports a different radeon version: 1.33.0 for Precise and 2.13.0 for Fatdog.

The precise puppy, both Pemasu's and Barry's, have the file '/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules', but this file is meaningless. You can remove it.
Instead, you need to create new gtk.immodules at '/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/gtk.immodules'. Run on a viertual terminal.

The SCIM in lang_pack_ja worked on Pemasu's precise and on Barry's alpha-3 by the treatment above.
But on the beta-1, SCIM launches and can input KANA letters but fails to convert int KANJI letters. Pressing the space-bar to swithing the mode but does not work.
We are wondering what is the difference between precise alpha-3 and the beta-1.
Reverted all the contents under /usr/lib/gconv and got no difference._________________Google Chrome portable
